Disabled Automatic Fame Quirks
As I was finalizing this mod, I learned that there is a similar mod made by salovas17 titled No Fame Quirks. While the principal is the same, our methods are different enough that I feel like it is still worth it to share this mod.
This is a tuning mod that makes it so that fame quirks introduced by Get Famous are not automatically unlocked.
There are two zip files to choose from: an all-in-one zip which will disable every fame quirk's unlock process and a separated zip which will have all the quirks as different files in order to allow you to pick and choose between them. Only download one zip!
More details below. I'll keep it brief so I don't waste your time.
What's the difference between this and No Fame Quirks?
My mod instead alters each quirk's ability to unlock and add themselves to your sim. I will go into specifics about that in the following section below. In short, this means that the slots are unaffected and you have the ability to pick and choose which quirks you want to disable (for example, say you really hate the Vain quirk but love the Fan Mail quirk, with this you can keep Fan Mail and remove Vain).
This also means that if modders are able to figure out how to make custom fame quirks, you won't be locked out of them.
So what did you do? Give me the details!
By default, once you have an open slot the game begins to monitor your sims' actions and roll the dice as to whether or not they get quirks if they perform the relevant triggering action (like Vain using the mirror, Refined Palette eating excellent food, etc). The dice roll is then multiplied by an arbitrary multiplier value, which is then compared to an arbitrary threshold value which will determine if the unlocking succeeded or failed. If it succeeded, the quirk is added. If it fails nothing happens. Some quirks also have a base_chance value which I assume gives them a more likely chance to be unlocked.
What I've done is set any available base_chance values to 0, multipliers to 0, and the thresholds to 999. This should ensure that the game should fail the dice roll any time it wants to automatically add the quirk.
The benefit to me doing it this way is that should you change your mind and want to add a quirk that you have essentially "blocked" via this mod, you can still do it via the in-game cheats and the quirk will function exactly as it's supposed to.
Update: Despite that, I found that in some cases the perk would still go through. So I set each perk's "progress" attribute to 0, which according to the documentation affects at what state the perk is at before it is called for the dice roll. This should mean that the perk is never allowed to perform the dice roll. However, this may or may not be foolproof, so if you see that the perks still go through, please let me know (I can only test so much!).
